Three new Visiting Scholars opportunities

Three new Visiting Scholars opportunities

I’m pleased to announce three new opportunities for experienced Wikipedians to apply as Visiting Scholars: Rollins College will sponsor one remote position, and the University of San Francisco will sponsor two.

The Wikipedia Visiting Scholars program helps university libraries provide high-quality resources, such as academic databases and ebooks, to experienced Wikipedians. These Wikipedians can write even better content, and increase the impact of the sponsor library’s special holdings in a topic area of mutual interest.

Rollins College’s Department of Archives and Special Collections is looking for a Visiting Scholar to improve articles about 19th- and 20th- Century American literature, and/or the history and culture of the American South during the same period.

The The University of San Francisco’s Department of Rhetoric and Language would like a Visiting Scholar to work on articles relevant to rhetoric, literacy, and/or California social movements.

The Gleeson Library, also at the University of San Francisco, is seeking a Visiting Scholar to develop articles about social justice reformers, reform movements, and/or Ignatian/Jesuit Catholic traditions.
